About Canines Matter
Canines Matter is a pet training provider operating islandwide across Singapore, listed on KakiList with verified operating details and a confirmed ACRA business registration. The service is priced in the mid-range bracket. On Google, it holds a rating of 4.7 out of 5 across 15 reviews — a promising signal, though the sample size is small and should be treated as directional rather than definitive.
When getting in touch, it helps to share your dog's breed, size, age, and general temperament upfront, as these factors shape the training approach recommended. Vaccination records are typically required before any sessions begin, so have those ready. It is worth asking whether Canines Matter offers an initial assessment or trial visit to gauge your pet's baseline behaviour, and whether sessions are conducted one-to-one or in small groups. You can also clarify whether training takes place at a fixed location — the registered address is at 142 Lorong Ah Soo — or whether trainers travel to your home, and how a recurring schedule might be structured once the initial programme is under way.
To take the next step, reach out to Canines Matter via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form with your pet's details and your training goals, and ask for a programme outline along with confirmation of session format and scheduling.

I’m really grateful to have found Glen/ K9 matters Squad. Their approach to helping dogs build confidence and good walking habits truly stands out. Glen would break down reasons behind the behaviour (pulling, walking against the wall etc), and explain and guide the behaviour properly, he would teach the exact ways of handling length of leash, points to touch the dog.Instead of relying on treats or quick fixes, he focused on real behaviour guidance and customised the training to fit my dog’s triggers and my own handling style Before this, I couldn’t walk for more than five minutes without my dog pulling. Now, she walks so much better beside me and can even pass her usual triggers — like fowl in the park or other dogs — without getting overwhelmed. I’m thankful for the Glens patience, clear guidance, and genuine care for both dog and owner. Highly recommend K9 matters. Daycare with K9 matters also helped to socialise my dog alot and sped up her being used to around other dogs

I had a great experience with Kes! He was very attentive and addressed many of my concerns in just a short session, even things I hadn’t thought of before. My dog stopped pulling like crazy just a few minutes into the training. Kes also shared practical and insightful advice that made a big difference. Highly recommend if you’re looking for proper guidance or need help training your dog, as they’re great at identifying issues and providing the right solutions!

Glen and his team has been nothing short of a miracle worker for my 2 Shiba Inu boys. After struggling with reactivity issues for months, I was starting to lose hope. Then we found Glen and his team, and everything changed. As a balanced dog trainer, Glen and his team perfectly blends positive reinforcement with appropriate corrections, which was exactly what my 2 boys needed. From our first session, Glen and his team took the time to understand the root of my boys reactivity. They tailored a customised training plan that addressed not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of their behaviours. The balanced approach provided my boys with clear, consistent boundaries while also building confidence and trust. I was amazed at how quickly my boys began to respond—there was a noticeable improvement after just a few sessions. Bearing in my mind one of their key triggers for aggression are people of the male gender. Both the boys are always so happy and excited to see him and his team. It’s a joy to see the trust and bond Glen and his team has fostered with my boys. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Glen was his ability to create a calm and structured environment that helped my dog feel safe and secure. More importantly he taught me how to communicate effectively with my boys which made a world of difference in managing reactive episodes. Training the dogs is one thing but training the owner as well is a whole different skill set altogether. Glen and his team has imparted on me the knowledge and skills needed to manage my boys effectively and safely. Walks are now less stressful and enjoyable for both my boys and I. The transformation has been incredible. My boys are now much more relaxed and able to handle situations that would have previously triggered an aggressive reaction which includes redirecting and biting me the owner. I can't express how grateful I am for Glen and his team’s expertise, patience, and unwavering support throughout this journey. I join them with my 2 boys for their morning pack walks. If you're dealing with a reactive dog, Glen is the trainer you need. The balanced training approach truly works, and I highly recommend K9 matters to anyone facing similar challenges."

Highly recommend the course! Kesa our trainer provided us (the humans) with knowledge on how to handle the dogs, communicate and correct them when required. Harrymautiger attend the basic obedience course when he was 8 months old. The course focus on how we as owner should do to correct undesirable behaviour. I learn so much attending the course! Life is happy when you have a dog who knows boundaries and respect you. Strangers enjoy Harry, we are happy to bring Harry out and Harry is happy he can go out. Win-win-win for everyone..

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Canines Matter charge?›
Canines Matter is priced at a mid-range level, but specific per-session or package fees are not publicly listed, so you will need to enquire directly for a quote. Pet training costs in Singapore typically vary based on the dog's size, breed, and existing behaviour, as well as whether sessions are one-to-one or conducted in a group setting. Package rates for a multi-session training block are common and generally work out cheaper per session than booking individually. When requesting pricing, ask about any add-ons such as follow-up consultations, homework materials, or progress assessments. Confirm whether transport costs apply if a trainer comes to your location. See the full pet training cost guide for Singapore →
What vaccinations does Canines Matter require?›
Most reputable pet training providers in Singapore require dogs to be current on core vaccinations before joining any sessions, particularly if training takes place alongside other animals. For dogs, this typically means DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and rabies vaccinations, with proof of inoculation usually required to have been administered within the past 12 months. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination may also be requested, especially for group classes. Bring your pet's vaccination booklet or a vet-issued vaccination certificate when attending the first session. If your dog is not yet up to date, schedule a vet visit before enquiring about class availability, as providers will generally not accommodate unvaccinated animals regardless of other arrangements.
Is Canines Matter licensed and insured?›
Canines Matter holds a verified ACRA business registration, confirming it operates as a legitimate registered entity in Singapore. No specific AVS (Animal & Veterinary Service) licence is listed on the KakiList profile; AVS licensing is a mandatory requirement for boarding and grooming facilities, though its applicability to training-only services may differ. It is advisable to confirm directly with Canines Matter whether they hold any AVS or related permits relevant to their operations. On insurance, ask the provider whether they carry cover for any incidents involving your pet during a training session — this includes injuries to the animal or third-party liability if your dog causes harm to another person or animal. Visit the facility or meeting location if possible, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance coverage before committing to a programme.
